I have come to you from the West, where we have always seen the backs of our enemies, from an army whose business it has been to seek the adversary, and to beat him to when he was found whose policy has been to attack and not defense Let us look before us, and not behind Success and glory are in the advance disaster and shame lurk in the rear

The of Northern Virginia acquired that magnificent morale which made them equal to twice their numbers, & which they never lost even to the surrender at Appomattox And [Lee's] confidence in them, & theirs in him, were so equal that no man can yet say which was greatest
